LIFELINE – Help is just “the push of a button” away!

LIFELINE is a community service provided by the Service League Volunteers
at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital. We are here to provide you with local service.

LIFELINE provides you with fast, easy access to help 24 hours a day, 365
days a year. LIFELINE will give you the confidence you need to continue
to live safely and independently in your own home, and will provide peace
of mind for you and your loved ones. You may live alone but with LIFELINE,
you won’t feel alone.

Once you push your waterproof help button, you’ll be connected with
a trained LIFELINE monitor who will quickly access your personal profile
and get you the help you need. LIFELINE also offers a personal help button
with built-in fall detection. If you fall and you are not able to push
your button, the button detects your fall and automatically sends a signal
to your LIFELINE communicator to get you help immediately.

For our active seniors, LIFELINE now offers a personal help button with
built-in GPS and fall detection - GoSafe. Now you’ll have the freedom
to leave your home and go where you want, when you want. GoSafe has two-way
voice communication and six advanced location technologies designed to
help find you in an emergency. Have even more flexibility by taking your
GoSafe button and your LIFELINE communicator with you on vacation.

If you have eliminated your landline phone service, LIFELINE can now provide
service with their wireless LIFELINE communicator. The Service League
also offers the Philips medication dispenser to assist with managing daily
medications. Your medications are preloaded and dispensed at the times
set by your caregiver.

The Service League Volunteers started their LIFELINE Program in 1989 and
provide service for all of Monterey County and portions of San Benito
County. There are no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees. Financial
assistance is also available for those individuals who cannot afford the
monthly fee.

Tele-Care

This is a FREE service for individuals who would enjoy a friendly visitor
call each morning. A Service League Volunteer phones the homes of Tele-Care
members at the time requested by them (between the hours of 8:30 and 10:00
a.m). If there is no answer, a second call is made to alert someone who
lives nearby (a neighbor, friend, or relative) to be sure that the Tele-Care
member is all right.
